  1. No Terror of Justinian - Glory Instead! (The Roman Emperor Who Lost His Nose - A TL of Justinian II)

    Ah you mean Justinian II... (above image from http://www.forumancientcoins.com/Roman-Coins.asp?e=Justinian_II&par=819&pos=1&target=99 ) Note: The image of Jesus is meant to be based on a life portrait, unlike the commons 'Zeus' version of today...

    :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

  3. America Discovered Early?

    Yes, I notice a plethora of 'what if China colonised the Americas' threads... Director-General of Virginia, I wonder what could make you think that the idea of the Chinese finding the Americas belongs in ASB....;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

  4. America Discovered Early?

    Saving threads Just thought to post this here rather than make a thread for it... If Spain had remianedunited with Portugal... And if the Chinese Ming dynasty had continued its global exploration would the Americas look like this? Key: Khaki=Russian Gold=Chinese/client states...

  5. Surviving Visigoth Spain?

    The bigger picture... And let us not neglect the other major factor that would have lowered the prospects of a Gothic regime surviving in Hispania, the Roman (Byzantine) Empire. If the Emperor Maurice was not murdered, and peaceful relations were thus maintained between Rome and Persia, that...

  6. Surviving Visigoth Spain?

    It is an interesting what if.... Survival of the Gothic regime in Hispania depends on Islam never conquering north Africa, and that depends on a fit Byzantine Empire to hold the Islamic armies of. As we know, the disasterous Persian-Byzantine war of 600-628 AD ruined both Empires and 'left the...

  7. Islamic Armenia?

  8. Alexandrian World

    Personally I do not Rate Alexander III, to me he was a wonton looter, who took advantage of an ossified Persian Empire that increasingly relied on gold to win its wars rather than military prowess. Of course, what he did, in many historical records, accounts to genocide. For example, when he...

  9. Islamic Armenia?

    Check this informative site for the lists of Armenian dynasties.. http://www.friesian.com/armenia.htm#armenia1

  10. Islamic Armenia?

    Certianly the Armenian church played a big role is propping up Christianity in Armenia. However this did not stop some self-seeking Armenians from converting for gain. Some prominent members of the Armenian community in Egypt converted to Islam, especially during the Fatimid Caliphate, Cairo...

  11. Crisis of the Third Century much worse

    Essentialy what happened from 410 AD onwards would have happened from 270 AD instead. Western regions taken over by pretenders to the throne. Italy probably ruled by a Gothic regime, like that of Theodoric in 490 AD. The east would have survived.

  12. ....

    Exactly. It is a great 'what if' but looking at the situation, the ods were so against the Scots. Hostile English government, Spain wishing to keep its monopoly/grip on 'New Spain' and hostile natives stacked up the odds. If I recall rightly, the failure of this scheme so backrupted Scotland...

  13. Alexandrian World

    If you type 'king alexander III of macedon' into a search engine you will see his more comon name 'Alexander the Great' Not so much 'sit by' more...being utterly defeated militarily. Hellonophile means 'a lover of Greek culture' wheras 'Hellenic' means a Greek, Dacia and Nubia being...

  14. Alternate post WW1 scenario

    Moving into '1926'... The Basues and Catalans have declared independence. The Italians have occupied some ports in Dalmatia and secured the borders of Albania to include Kosovo. Now the Albanians turn to northern Greece... In the east the Communists have defeated the Republicans. Sweden...

  15. Alexandrian World

    Here is a what the world would have looked liked if things had run smoothly for king Alexander III after his conquest/ransack of the Persian Empire. He had planned to colonise the Arabian coast and to build a road along the north African coast, obviously to annex the Phonecian Empire of...

  16. worst villain ever

    I haven't a clue what our on about, as regards logic... The land of 'England' prior to Germanic conquest was called Brittania. And the Normans (another Germanic people) did conquer England. Phillip II king of Spain may have claimed Gothic ancestry but was Spanish and he attempted to overthrow...

  17. worst villain ever

    I Vote ...for the Turks as being the worst in hisotry for warmongering and mass murder. Compared to others, the Turks have been able to carry our these atrocities for over 1,000 years. From the huns and their destruction of the Roman Empire, the Avars and their ransacking of Germanic peoples...

  18. Greatest Civilizations

    I'm glad... ...to see Persia has not been listed ;) To consider that from aparent nomads they forged alliances to overthrow the Medes, Babylonians, annex Armenia, Lydia, Phonecia, Palestine (returning the exiled Jews to the land), Egypt, subduing the nomadic tribes of Tranoxiana and taking...

  19. Alternate post WW1 scenario

    More speculation... Here is a variant on the above map... Sweden decides to resurect its historical claims on Finland and Estonia, albiet as a protector state for the fledgling republics from the chaos of the end of the Tsarist Empire. The Communists have recouped, from the mineral wealth...

  20. Alternate post WW1 scenario

    Stimulating Hello! Glad to see this speculation stimulating conversation :) Essentially in this scenario the real victor is the U.S.A. with Britain and France coming out intact. We could speculate that the War lasted 2 years at most, Russia scoring decisive blows against Germany before...
